Clay Golem, Page 107

In the description: (emphasis added)
Clay golems are made of clay, naturally, and thus may be any natural clay color; generally, one is will be grayish in color, but common clay containing iron oxide may be used which results in a red, brown, or even orange clay golem.
You can either say "is" or you can say "will be". You can't say both. :)

I think "will be" reads better than "is".

And, good find!
I'm also on RPGG

Gorgon, Page 109

In the description, paragrah 2: (emphasis added)
An adult male gorgon weights up to 4,500 pounds and can be as much as 7 feet tall at the shoulder and up to 9 feet long. ...
should be "weighs"

Gray Jelly, page109

This is simply a redirect entry in case someone tries to look up the monster using the "traditional" name. However, the traditional name is actually Gray Ooze, which can be verified by looking at the "Jelly, Gray (Gray Ooze)" entry on page 117.

Griffon, page 110

In the description, paragraph 2: (emphasis added)
Griffons nest on high mountaintops, soaring down to feed on horses, the beast’s preferred prey. They hunt and travel in flocks. A Griffon will attack a horse over anything else, diving low to swipe with their claws. They are not above retreating and coming back later, when there may be less of a defense mounted.
Not really sure what you want to do with this. The rest of the paragraph is using plural they, so changing "A Griffon" (which shouldn't be capitalized) into "Griffons" will fix the sentence, and keep it similar to the tone of the rest of the paragraph, I think. Also, the part "the beast's preferred prey" might read better as "their preferred prey", but now I'm getting onto shaky ground for me.

Rewrote the griffon extensively. Fixed all the other things called out since R130 as well, and fixed an image position.

Announcing!

Core Rules 4th Edition, Release 131 -- June 07, 2023
Thanks to Thorin Schmidt for a bunch of errors he pointed out; while fixing them I discovered the cold elemental had a badly-placed image, so I fixed it too. This is now the print release candidate for the 4th Edition of the Core Rules.

Harpy, Page 111

in the description, 2nd paragraph: (emphasis added)
///This charm is very powerful, such that victims will approach the harpy or harpies without fear with a dazed expression on its face...
The nouns don't agree.
